Several international releases of the film (including the UK) are edited to cut away from Orion's "finger transformation" a few seconds earlier, as well as changing any mention of Bee's "knife hands" to refer to them as "sword hands" instead. It's perhaps likely that Paramount has precut the film for said territories..

The writing is superb!
The animation is gorgeous. And the voice acting is top notch.There are plenty of Easter eggs to appeal to long time fans. There are new story elements that reshape the lore of the Transformers franchise, but it feels organic and more refined than prior origin stories.A pre-Civil War Cybertron is beautifully rendered.
Aside from the main characters
We are introduced to a planet that contains both technological and organic life. You will see familiar faces throughout the movie. The film is great to see.Kudos to the writing, production, and acting.I can't wait to see it again!
